Found following crew members names on pictures/correspondance: J.P. McMahon; Doc Davney; Jim Rice; Novak; Scotty with frozen towel; Lanno sitting on the pig or float; DeGraff; Andy Carson; Bob Struck. Don't know which ship but have a hunch it's the Chatterer or Mainstay or both. I wished like hell I had quizzed dad 'bout pictures while he was alive!

We swept 5 magnetic mines at Wonsan Harbor. Sam Lorenz was Skipper part of that time. Jim Odem relieved him. The Chatterer nearly sunk when the shaft bearing broke in Chinnampo harbor. We were kept afloat by tying to a Canadian destroyer until the pumps started working. The shaft was immobilized and we were towed back to Sasebo. I was transferred to the USS Devastator (AM-318)to finish out my hitch Keywords: |

While we were on sweep operations in Wonsan, I observed a South Korean (AMS) being blown into by an influence mine. There were at least two other vessels sunk by mines during our visit there; a US Army tugboat and a Japanese minesweeper. Besides the previous mentioned minesweepers there were in our squadron;(AMS)class: REDHEAD, MOCKINGBIRD, OSPREY,and KITE. The other (AM)s were: MAINSTAY, INCREDIBLE and Keywords: EM Daniel Bella and SO Ted Pringle were my closest friends. PARTRIDGE was our sister ship.
